This book was released on 2018-02-07 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from On Recent Investigations Applications of Explosive Agents: A Lecture Delivered to the Members of the British Association at Edinburgh, August 1871 The principles laid down by the first Committee on Gunpowder, in 1 858, as their guide in attempting to reduce the violence of action of powder when fired m large charges, have been, up to the present time, adhered to by those since entrusted with the continuance of these investigations. Before specifying them it may be instructive to glance briefly at some ways in which gunpowder may readily be modified, with the object of increasing or diminishing the rapidity and violence of its explosion, and at the reasons why they have not hitherto been selected. As gunpowder is simply an intimate mechanical mixture of a powerful oxidising agent - saltpetre or potassium-nitrate, with two readily-oxidisable substances, sulphur and carbon or charcoal - it is obvious that the behaviour of this mixture, i. E. The rapidity with which it will explode, and the nature of the results furnished by its explosion, are susceptible of great modification by variations in the proportions of its ingredients.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short Account of Explosives AN explosive is a material which is capable of giving off a very large volume of gas very suddenly; at the same time it always evolves a great deal of heat. The gas which is thus suddenly formed tends naturally to expand, and in so doing to overcome the resistance of anything which Opposes the expansion. The sharp noise, which is always associated with an explosion, is due to this sudden evolution of gas. Heat is liberated at the same time, and this produces a bright light it also increases the expansion of the gas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual on Explosives It remained, however, for the German monk Schwarz to first utilize this explosive mixture as a propellant to throw a mass of stone or iron through the air in a more efficient manner than had been possible with the purely mechanical means formerly employed, such as the catapult and the crossbow. Schwarz's invention of firearms is now generally concluded to have taken place about the year 1313, and shortly afterwards, in the reign of Edward 111, we find in the accounts of the -royal Household items relating to the purchase of sulphur and saltpetre for the guns, and it is a further established fact that guns or bombards, _ as they were then called, were used by the English at the Battle of Cre in the year 1346.

Download or read book Explosives and Their Power written by C. Napier Hake and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-18 with total page 578 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Explosives and Their Power: Translated and Condensed From the French of M. Berthelot The great work of M. Berthelot has for some years been a a mine from which copious stores of valuable matter have been obtained and translated into various languages. So far, however, no English translation or adaptation of the book, as a whole, has appeared. The idea of making such a translation, or, rather, condensation, of M. Berthelot's somewhat bulky volumes occurred some time ago to Mr. Hake and myself. Circumstances, however, notably the appointment of Mr. Hake to the Inspectorship of Explosives in the Colony of Victoria, and a considerable pressure on my own time, prevented our carrying out this project in the way originally intended. But Mr. Macnab, then associated with, and subsequently successor to, Mr. Hake in his London business, has undertaken and carried out the larger portion of the very laborious work involved, and thus it is really to his energy and kindness that the work as it now appears is due. M. Berthelot's reputation as a scientist is world-wide; his atten tion was first especially drawn to explosives in the year 1870, and his labours have been continued with little, if any, inter mission to the present time. The great key-note of the work now translated is the applica tion of thermo-chemistry to the study of explosives. Though not the first in this field, yet M. Berthelot has, in the extent and variety of his researches, eclipsed his colleagues, and it is mainly due to him that thermo-chemistry occupies the position which it now holds in this department of science.

Download or read book Identification of Chemical Warfare Agents Classic Reprint written by United States Office of Civilia Defense and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-10-12 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Identification of Chemical Warfare Agents Certain visual indications may be Of help in determining the pres ence Of gas. If a bomb or shell has been dropped, the size Of the crater and area Of destruction will be almost negligible if the principal charge is a war gas rather than a high explosive. The usual gas bomb will produce no significant crater as contrasted to a crater 18 - 25 feet in diameter for a 250 kg. (550 lb.) high explosive bomb. The presence of a cloud, smoke, or 0i mist should be regarded with suspicion. Chlorine produces a yellow or yellowish-green cloud. Phosgene or diphosgene in strong concentrations gives a white cloud. High concentrations Of the sternutators produce visible smokes. Liquid vesicants when released as a spray will give an Oily mist which can be recognized best by viewing toward a source Of light. Care should be taken not to look upward or to otherwise expose oneself to falling vapor. Any pools, drops Of liquid, or wet 0i ground should be noted. If a spray is suspected, Observe all flat, open surfaces for the presence of dark-colored liquids indicative Of vesicants or liquid lacrimators. On dry, porous surfaces (brickwork, cement, stonework), such liquids are rapidly absorbed, leaving a dark Oily stain. On dry earth or roads, they appear as wet oily patches, while on wet surfaces, they spread and give a slightly iridescent effect similar to that produced by gasoline or Oil. These liquids rapidly penetrate wood, especially along the grain, but remain as liquid drops and splashes on painted surfaces for a considerable time. They do not penetrate metals, glass, glazed tile, etc., and remain in droplet form on green foliage and grass for some time. In water, the bulk sinks to the bottom, but a thin, somewhat iridescent film remains on the surface. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dictionary of Explosives In France and Belgium also the compositions of the coal mine explosives are published, but in Germany, as a rule, only a list of the constituents is given, and sometimes an upper or lower limit for one or more of the principal constituents. Moreover, it is not stated explicitly whether the explosives are intended for use in coal mines or for general blasting purposes. In the United States of America, explosives in tended for use in coal mines are examined by the Bureau of Mines, which, however, has no power to prevent the use of others because regulations on this matter are made by the individual states. If they pass they are placed on the list of Permissible Explosives. The compositions are not published, but the class of composition is stated. Until the second half of the nineteenth century, gunpowder was practically the only explosive used on a considerable scale, and it was employed for all purposes. Consequently it does not fall into any of the classes mentioned, or rather it could be placed in several of them.
